FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 1955
North Carolina is cultivating
only about half of its land capable
of permanent cultivation. Large
areas of idle and wooded land
could be brought into production
through drainage in the coastal
plain, contour tillage and strip
cropping in the Piedmont and by
-moving pastures to the hillsides in
the mountains.

.Stockholders of Textron, Inc.
on Monday approved merger with
American "Wbolen Co. and Rob
bins Mills Inc. under the new
name of Textron American Inc.
Stockholders of the other two
firms vote on the merger Febru
ary 17—Robbins in New York
City and American Woolen in
Boston.
Involved are four Robbins
Mills plants in North Carolina
two in Moore County at Aber
deen and Robbins and others at
Raeford and Red Springs.
A special meeting of Textron
stockholders was held at Provi
dence, R. I., but Royal Little,
chairman of the firm’s board, an
nounced the results to a news
conference here.
Little said he hoped if the mer-*
ger went through—with himself
as chairamn of the board of the
new company and Textron Pres
ident Robert L. Huffihes Jr., as
its president—the new Textron
American Inc. operation “would
run about 50-50 textile and non
textile.”
He explained that non-textile
operations account for about 40
per cent of Textron’s volume.
“After we put them together
(Textron, American and Rob
bins),” he said, “we’ll have about
20 million dollars available for
diversification.”
Mr. Huffines recently bought a
home in Pinehurst and moved
there with his family.

Except for Skippy, it would have been too late . .
and except for the advice of their Hartford Fire
agent, the amount of insurance on their home would
have been too little.
The alert Skippy saved their lives. Their agent’s
advice against cutting down on insurance also proved
a “life saver.” The loss was paid in full!
